I upgraded my battery to the gel closed cell battery on my 996. Of course it's got different dimensions than the OEM battery and the OEM mount bracket doesn't fit it properly. Right now I'm using zip ties to keep it on place, can anyone point me either to a new top mounting bracket or a whole new battery box for the smaller gel battery? Thanks!

I took a piece of flat steel and basically bent it in an “s” shape to conform to the new battery. I drilled a hole in the top and used the original holding location and bolt. I then added some foam pads to the front and rear so the battery won’t slide around.

2001-2 748R small battery holder. Should sit in or on the OE tray. Look the part up.

I assume this is it?
